Cheese Biscuits

[debodun]

My attempt at making drop biscuits - they spread out a little and had a bready texture. Edible but wouldn't win any baking contest.

Cheese always spreads out like that when baking.. I'm sure they'll taste delicious

Back when I used to make gougères, (choux pastry) sometimes they spread too much.

I was advised I was adding too much cheese. Also, harder cheeses stay more firm when baked than the classic Gruyere.

Thank goodness I gave up baking.

I added some grated parmesan (the kind that's shaken out of a container) and shredded sharp cheddar.

Dunno, then.

I tried again with the cheese biscuits. This time, instead of following the recipe, I mixed the dry ingredients together then added buttermilk gradually until it looked the "right" consistency. They turned out much firmer and what I expected biscuits to be. They almost look like macaroons.

When I make them I brush them with melted butter and garlic powder, just like you get at Red Lobster!!

I started a Keto diet a few weeks ago, and can't eat these cheese biscuits, but today I shredded some cheese and mixed it with Parmesan cheese and placed the mounds of cheese on a pan and baked 7 minutes (400 degrees), then turned off the heat and let it sit in the oven another 7 minutes. That' s my version of a 'cheese biscuit,' instead, it's called "cheese crisp" and it was a crunchy and yummy substitute, too.
